Shishkov Appreciation Thread

Recommended Posts

I see we are steering the Standard thread away from it's original direction so I thought it was time to set this to light.

Looking forward to my #??/12 to arrive. I'm hoping for #11, that way no one can ever look at it or even touch it. :huh:^_^:PB):ph34r:

We should probably wait until he gets something out the door first! ;)

I got in MIRACULOUSLY late on the initial run. I really thought I'd miss out. Fingers crossed mine is number 12.

Shall we christen ourselves The Dirty Dozen? I wonder how many non-HFCers are in on this first run?

Christmas at the HFC will be interesting!

But... without idle speculation, innuendo, rumors, exaggeration and outright bullshit the interwebs would grind to a halt!

Christmas time will be awesome here at the HFC. Those of us fortunate enough to get in on this run will be posting pics left and right. I wonder if the pickup decision has been finalized?

2001 Standard Custom. Wonder how much Shishkov is in this one?

INDEED! I appreciate the Shishkov in your guitar! See: we are appreciating what does exist!

HMMMMM.....

I think there is some here too......

Isn't that quilt fucking insane. While sanding and working with it, it was actually distracting, Every 10-20 minutes you hold it up going "Jesus Christ, I know we are used to seeing this, but isn't this top and headstock fucking amazing?" then someone would say "Hey, get back to fucking before I sick the dogs on you!". Where else would you see this at 6:00 in the morning? Glad you changed the pickups. I'm not a fan of (mass produced) Duncans.

Another go around on this guitar now that it has had some really nice Custom wound Manlius pickups installed. As you may recall this was Elvis when he arrived....

I didn't read all 23 or so pages of the other thread, but is Mike Shishkov related to the fender Custom Shop Yuri Shishkov? the guy who brought us this Strat?

Yuri is the older brother of Mike? That's funny, because I work with a guy named Liu-Wah who has a younger brother named Charlie :)

I've heard Yuri is good; I've seen Mike's work and he's no slouch lol. My deposit was mailed in and I know that something very nice will be delivered when it is ready. I am glad to support "the little guy" who has standards (pun intended) and a plan. Already the wheels are churning in terms of the future custom builds. Maybe something that combines korina and triple-coils...
